Continue reading →: Welcome!It started with a honeymoon. My husband and I booked San Diego Comic Con as our honeymoon destination — only to discover we couldn’t get tickets to the actual convention. The suggestion that followed was simple enough: start a nerd blog, build something, and then see if you can get a press pass. So I did. That Tumblr became Get Your Comic On. Two years later it moved to a full website. By 2018 the press pass arrived, and it hasn’t stopped since. Thirteen years, 1.5 million unique visitors, a podcast in the GoodPods top 100, and a team of…

Continue reading →: The SUmmer of Supergirl begins…One of the greatest privileges of the position that I find myself in is that I get to work very closely with Warner Bros. and DC Comics/DC Studios on their upcoming projects.

One of those jobs pays the bills and keeps a roof over my head. The other keeps me very busy with a rewarding and full social life. But do the two really sit side-by-side in peaceful harmony? For the most part, yes. I’ve been able to utilise a bunch of different tools to help one job from never bleeding into the other. Firstly, I’m very lucky…

I guess the question that’s going to come up as soon as I publicise this website and add it to my online profiles will be: why a personal website? So I’m going to use this post to tackle a couple of questions. Why a website? I’ve been utilising LinkedIn quite a bit to post about aspirations. But there’s only so far a LinkedIn profile can reach. Now felt like a good time to have a permanent place to share my work, more about who I am outside of Get Your Comic On and what my aspirations are in the industry.…
